I know Jeannie - it's CRAZY!!!!!!! The only change in him Is that he's lost his bark and has this weird raspy thing going on...it's sounds like it hurts, but the vet says it doesn't, and I gotta admit...it is more pleasant than that sharp bark he was sporting at 0400 daily asking for room service!So good to hear. I was just thinking of him yesterday. Do you realize that in less than 2 weeks our babies will be 10 yrs old? Unbelievable!!
